Hello everyone, my PowerMac G4 quicksilver is coming along well. One of the things I’ve added to it is a modern-ish Edimax USB dongle with a Realtek chipset that’s known to work with Powermacs (V1 of the EW-7811UN). However, it doesn’t connect to the internet. The wireless network utility that comes with it since you obviously can’t control it with the airport utility has a signal strength indicator and it’s pegged at from 85%-100% at all times, yet nothing that involves connecting to the internet actually works. Has anyone else had this issue with third party wifi dongles? Is it because the setup is downstairs and since it doesn’t have an external antenna it’s actually not getting a good signal?
